Google is testing Wireless Charging Systems for its Electric Self-Driving Cars

Google engineers are testing multiple chargers from Momentum Dynamics at Google’s HQ in Mountain View, and at the Castle Commerce Center. As per a recent report by
IEEE Spectrum.

However Momentum Dynamics and Hevo Power declined to confirm any involvement with Google.

The idea is that, initially, a self-driving car would position itself briefly over a charging pad between rides, and ultimately, the infrastructure would be put in place that would allow a car to continually recharge its batteries as it travels along the road.
